About Josh Vittek

I started out on the assembly line of an electronics company and have since held such titles as Director of International Sales, Artist Relations, Public Relations, Purchasing Agent, Media Buyer and General Manager for some of the industry’s most popular brands. In 2003, the Musicians Institute acknowledged me for my commitment, generosity and excellence toward the school and music education. Come 2006, I was honored as one of the \"40 Most Influential Under 40\" by Musical Merchandise Review and by 2008; I was selected to the Presidential Advisory Board of the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM). Later that year, I established Vittek PR. In addition to my business, I am frequently interviewed by publications and often a guest speaker for organizations such as USC, NAMM and Covenant House. Most recently, VittekPR was recognized as one of 389 companies “built to boost yours” as a B2B All Star and Power Partner by Inc. magazine in 2023. In the music business, our work has appeared in virtually every major publication around the world. Our clients have been featured locally, nationally and internationally in print publications and television. Online media coverage includes mainstream sites such as AOL, Rolling Stone, Bloomberg, Huffington Post, boingboing.net, and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on NBC.com. Countless online music coverage sites routinely cover our clients and their products. In the music industry, we have worked with Peavey, B. C. Rich Guitars, Gibson, Dean Markley, Cort Guitars, Fargen Amplifiers, Carvin, Wizard Amplification, dDrum, Dean Guitars, and Musicians Institute. Outside of the music world, we have worked with Reelistic Pictures, Clear Creative Media, Whitson Contractors, California Filtration Systems, and Loy Chiropractic Arts. Bands/Artists/Celebrities we have worked with include: the Eagles, Slayer, Toby Keith, Jason Aldean, Motley Crüe, Brooks and Dunn, Earth Wind and Fire, Alice In Chains, Michael Bolton, Bruce Springsteen, Megadeth, Rush, Fall Out Boy, and Victor Wooten. Let\'s connect here on LinkedIn. Who knows what we might achieve together.
